Here's a KagSessh two shot. It's definitly fluffy at the end. I hope you enjoy it. I was bored when i wrote it so i don't know if it's good or not.
Diclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the other characters.
Ch.1
She was walking through the woods one night lost in her own thoughts. It had been a month since Kikyo had joined the group and she didn't know if she could handle it much longer. It wasn't that she didn't like Kikyo. After a week or two they had actually become good friends and Kikyo began teaching her how to use her miko powers. It was Inuyasha. He was forever comparing her to Kikyo and it was driving her crazy. It hurt when he said things like 'she wasn't as strong as Kikyo and couldn't be if she wanted to.'
She should probably give up on Inuyasha. Loving him just wasn't worth the pain. Besides, Kikyo and him finally had a chance at the life that had been taken from them all those years ago. She didn't want to stand in their way.
She suddenly felt a demon coming up behind her. She turned quickly to face it. It burst through the bushes and saw her. She gasped. It was a bear demon and it looked hungry. She prayed that it wasn't. She reached for her bow and arrows out of habit only to find out that they weren't there. 'Oh no, I must have forgot them at camp,' she thought frantically.
"Well look what I've found. A tasty morsel," the demon said in a sly growl.
"I'm not tasty. I-I taste horrible," she stuttered.
"How about we find out just what you taste like?"
Kagome tried to turn to run but he was too fast. He grabbed her by the throat and pinned her to a tree. She reached up and grabbed his wrist with both of her hands and channeled her power into them. He let go with a yelp of pain. She hit the ground gasping for air. He was about to attack her again and she didn't have time to get ready.
She closed her eyes bracing herself for the pain to come…and waited…and waited. Then a cold and smooth voice reached her ears.
"You can open your eyes now."
Her eyes snapped open and her blue eyes met the amber eyes of Lord Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha's older half brother. She jumped up and looked around.
"Where did the bear demon go?" she asked nervously.
Sesshoumaru merely pointed and she saw the body of the demon that had tried to eat her. She sighed with relief. Then she turned and looked at the demon that had saved her. She had never been sure what to make of Sesshoumaru. Sometimes he could be so cruel but then he would do something, like save her life, to make her rethink her opinion of him. She was beginning to think that he did it on purpose to confuse her.
"Thank you, Lord Sesshoumaru," she said simply.
He raised and eyebrow at her. She wasn't like other humans he knew. They would sooner cut off their tongue before they would thank a demon. She didn't seem to think twice about it.
"I didn't do it to save you," he stated.
Kagome sighed, "That's not the point. Your reasons don't change the fact that you saved me or that I'm grateful for it."
He shook his head and turned to leave. Then as and after thought he turned back around and said, "You shouldn't be in the woods alone."
She raked her hand through her thick black hair to get it out of her face and then looked at him. He still looked like Sesshoumaru. His hair was still long and silver. The face that framed his emotionless amber eyes was expressionless. So why did he say something like that.
"Why?"
He raised his eyebrow at her again, "Have you forgotten that a demon just tried to eat you already?"
"Oh…ummm…well…no…it's just…"
"What?"
"Oh forget it."
He smirked slightly, "I'll make sure you make it back to your friends."
Kagome blinked. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Did Sesshoumaru, the lord of the western lands and the demon known for his hatred of anything human, just say he would walk her back to camp?
"What?!"
"Don't yell, Miko," he commanded.
She winced. Because he was a demon he had excellent hearing and yelling probably hurt him.
"Sorry. I was just surprised."
"Hn," was his response.
Why did men always say that every time they didn't want to answer a question? It was a mystery she would probably never solve. She just wished that he would actually answer the question instead of make sound affects. Oh well no point in worrying about this stuff now. She'd worry about it tomorrow, once she had made it through today.
He began to walk in the direction of her camp. She followed without anymore comments.
-------------------------------------------
They were a few feet away from camp when Inuyasha came rushing up to them with his sword raised. He brought it down to use his windscar. Unfortunately he didn't see Kagome standing behind Sesshoumaru.
Kagome felt and arm wrap around her waist and then air rushing by her. She instinctively grabbed hold of the closest object and closed her eyes. Then just as quickly as it started it was over and she was back on the ground.
She opened her eyes and looked around to find out what had happened. She gasped when she saw the long deep trenches in the area where she had been standing.
"Ouch! What was that for, Sango," Inuyasha yelled.
"Idiot you almost hit Kagome. She was behind Sesshoumaru," Sango yelled in frustration.
Inuyasha's ears flattened against his head, "Well she shouldn't be with him at all."
Everyone rolled their eyes at him. It was just so typical. He made a mistake and it was her fault.
Inuyasha turned back to Sesshoumaru and Kagome and gasped, "Kagome get away from him."
Kagome blinked. She wasn't even sure what he was talking about. She looked at Sesshoumaru to see if he knew what was going on. That's when she noticed how close he was to her and that she was holding on to his shirt with a death grip. She jumped back with a yelp.
"I'm sorry Sesshoumaru. I didn't even notice that I was standing that close."
He just looked at her. Then nodded to let her know he heard her.
"What are you apologizing to him for? In case you've forgotten he's the enemy," Inuyasha fumed.
Kagome glared at him, "At least he doesn't accidentally come close to killing his own allies and then blames it on them."
She got a look on her face like she had just remembered something. She turned back to Sesshoumaru and said, "Speaking of which, thanks for saving me again."
"What do you mean again?" Miroku asked curiously.
"He saved me from a bear demon just a little while ago," Kagome replied. Everyone but Inuyasha relaxed almost immediately after hearing that. If Sesshoumaru saved Kagome he wasn't there for a fight so being ready for one was pointless.
"Lord Sesshoumaru," they heard a little girl's voice call.
When they turned toward the voice a little girl with a lopsided ponytail was running towards them with a smile on her face. She ran right up to the demon lord and then looked at everyone else.
"Rin, what are you doing here?" Sesshoumaru asked the girl.
"Rin was hungry but Jaken said Rin couldn't go get food until you came back. So Rin went to find you," Rin said looking back at the demon.
Sesshoumaru looked at Jaken and the imp gulped. Taking care of Rin was his job. If he didn't do his job and do it well Sesshoumaru would make him suffer for it.
Kagome suddenly got an idea. She had been wondering how she was suppose to repay a demon lord for saving her life not once but twice. Now she had a way.
"Lord Sesshoumaru?"
The demon lord turned his amber gaze to her to show he was listening.
"Why don't you eat dinner with us?" she offered.
"WHAT!!!" Inuyasha shouted. "He can't."
The look Kagome gave the hanyou was enough to make a grown man run and hide. Unfortunately for Inuyasha he wasn't smart enough to take the hint.
"I won't allow it," he continued.
"Inuyasha," Kagome said in a falsely sweet tone. Then suddenly her tone was full of rage, "SIT BOY!!!"
Inuyasha's face hit the ground. Sesshoumaru was amused by what he saw. It was amazing that his brother could be beat with just one word.
Kagome turned to the rest of the gang, "So what do you guys think?"
"He did save your life Kagome so it's ok with me," Sango said without hesitation. The rest of the group agreed.
Kagome looked back at Sesshoumaru, "Well Lord Sesshoumaru?"
The demon lord considered for a moment. Rin was hunger and they would have the kind of food she would need. He looked down at Rin. She was looking at the little fox kit. So there was another child her age there to play with. He nodded in agreement.
"Yay," Rin cheered.
Kagome smiled and began leading the way back to the camp they had set up. When they got there the girls began making dinner. Rin wanted to help so Kagome began to teach her. Sesshoumaru couldn't help but notice that she would make a wonderful mother. In a way she already was. The fox kit obviously thought of her as his mother and she treated him like he was her son.
Inuyasha was sitting off to the side sulking when he noticed Sesshoumaru watching Kagome. He was surprised to see that his brother had let his guard down. The hanyou could actually see some feeling in his brother's eyes. Inuyasha had never spent that much time near his brother when they weren't fighting so he didn't know much about him. What he did know was that this was the first time he had ever seen feeling in his brother's eyes, even if it was only curiosity.
Kikyo came over and sat next to him and asked, "Inuyasha, why do you hate him?"
Inuyasha was about to give his usual answer. The one where he tells everyone that Sesshoumaru had tried to kill him a number of times but then he stopped. He decided to take time to think about his answer. He didn't know his brother but he knew he didn't show affection to anyone so how did he know that Sesshoumaru didn't care. Inuyasha wouldn't admit this out loud but there had been many times that Sesshoumaru could have killed him without trying but didn't.
"I thought he hated me. But now…" Inuyasha said. He wouldn't lie to Kikyo. Too much of their relationship needed the trust to lie now.
"But now?" she questioned. She knew that Kagome considered Sesshoumaru an ally now. She also could tell that the younger miko was attracted to the demon lord. So she decided to help her out by making Inuyasha open his eyes a little bit. He was, after all, Kagome's best friend and it would hurt her if he was angry at her.
"But now I'm not so sure," he said.
"You should apologize to Kagome for earlier. She was right to offer to let them stay for dinner. He did after all save her life twice," Kikyo stated calmly but there was a steely look in her eyes.
He winced. That would cost him some pride but she was right. So he swallowed his pride and walked over to Kagome.
"Ummm, Kagome?"
"Yes, Inuyasha?" she smiled at him. He couldn't believe she forgave him already. But then she had always been the forgiving type. It never took her long to forgive anyone especially a friend.
"I…umm…I wanted to say that…I'm…sorry," he mumbled the last word.
Kagome blinked. 'Did he just say that?' she thought in shock. She smiled at him.
"It's alright Inuyasha," she said.
"Kagome did I do it right," the little girl asked.
Kagome turned her attention back to the food and the little girl.
Sesshoumaru had watched all of this from the sidelines. 'That girl is more forgiving that most would be. I wonder if she's that way with everyone or if it's just Inuyasha,' he thought to himself.
After everyone had eaten everyone sat down somewhere to figure out what to do next. Kagome was leaning against a tree a short distance from Sesshoumaru. Rin had curled up next to Sesshoumaru and fallen asleep and Shippo was lying next to Kagome. Inuyasha and Kikyo were next to each other. Miroku was sitting next to Sango.
Everything was going smoothly until Miroku couldn't keep his hand to himself anymore. The slap could be heard for miles. Back with the group no one flinched. This was so normal that they no longer paid attention to it anymore.
After a few hours Sesshoumaru stood up carrying Rin and just began to walk away.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, where are you going?" Sango asked.
"Where ever I want to." And then he was gone with Jaken and Rin.
Kagome sighed. She had actually enjoyed his company while he was here. The few time they did speak he actually treated her like she had a brain in her head. Unlike a certain hanyou who shall remain nameless but his initials are Inuyasha. She sighed again. 'The next time I see him he'll probably be the enemy again. Why do I wish that he won't be?' asked herself as she fell asleep.
